1.6.2 is the version installed. The latest is 2.0.3 Stable/2.22 Dev. What is going on?

I believe that if you install PlayOnLinux, you will be able to install the latest Wine, and multiple versions of Wine at the same time.

Already updated Wine, but it's not in the Menu. How do I edit the Menu?

I second running POL; far easier, and I'm using Wine 2.20 for one of the games I have installed, and various other Wine releases for other games.

Third vote here for PlayOnLinux.
I've used it to install Microsoft Office 2010 (because I have certain spreadsheets which get bent in anything else) and a small group of other programs I won't do without. I "have to" manually update wine every couple of weeks, but only because I want the latest.
